Webster Vienna Private University Merit Scholarship
Webster Vienna Private University is the Austrian campus of the US-based Webster University, offering American-style, fully English-taught Bachelor's and Master's degrees in business, management, international relations, psychology, and media communications, with degrees accredited in both the US and Austria. Webster Vienna awards merit scholarships to strong international applicants — typically a percentage reduction of tuition based on academic record and, where required, test scores — across both undergraduate and graduate study. For Sri Lankan students who want a US-style English-medium degree in the heart of Europe (and the option to transfer between Webster's global campuses), this is a relevant route. As a private university, tuition is higher than at Austrian public institutions, so the merit reduction is meaningful. Confirm the current scholarship bands, eligibility criteria, and deadlines with Webster Vienna admissions before applying.

info How this award actually works
Who awards it
Webster Vienna Private University — not Lanka Scholar. We are not the awarding body and cannot grant, reserve or guarantee this award.
How you are considered
Through your admission application. Awards like this are usually assessed automatically from the application you already submit — there is typically no separate scholarship form to fill in.
What it covers
Merit tuition scholarships (typically a percentage of tuition). This is a reduction in tuition, not a full ride. You still fund the remainder, plus living costs and the balance your visa requires you to show.
Where we come in
We make the admission application strong enough to be competitive — course choice, documents, references and deadlines. The funder makes the decision.
fact_check Eligibility Criteria
International Applicant
Open to international students applying to Webster Vienna's English-taught programmes. Sri Lankan citizens with recognised qualifications are eligible to apply for admission and merit scholarships.
Admission to a Programme
You must be admitted to a Webster Vienna Bachelor's or Master's. All programmes are taught in English, so no German is required for the degree itself.
Academic Merit
Merit scholarships are based on your academic record (and standardised test scores where required for graduate programmes). A strong GPA and a focused application improve the reduction offered.
English Proficiency
Programmes are taught in English; typical requirements are IELTS 6.5 or TOEFL equivalent. Sri Lankan applicants with an English-medium qualification may meet the requirement with a medium-of-instruction certificate where accepted.

Looking for a scholarship because of the cost?
Then start here instead. Scholarships are competitive, usually partial, and decided by someone else — they are the least reliable way to make studying abroad affordable. Your destination and course choice move the number far more, and both are entirely within your control.
Work out your real number
Tuition, living costs, visa funds and flights for your destination — so you know the gap you are actually trying to close.
